Hi EastTnRailRay, Great catch of a rare locomotive the Richmond Fredericksburg Potomac 101 GP7. Wonderful seeing Hobo Shoestring tag is on the defect detector. Hope to see it for many years. Thanks
Shoestring loved those Cadillacs I know you miss him you knew him personally I miss him as well gave anything met him crazy we both in Johnson city never ran across use walk rails on days off work try run into shoe he smiling down on you brother smiling keeping his name and legacy going on 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Nice to think back on the memories of Shoestring, I remember I think that is where You first met Mark at His camp. Nice catch on the high hood EMD and nice video!🛤🚂
Thanks for sharing. We have two east/west NS lines in Monroe County, Michigan along Lake Erie and a NE/SW line as well. The NE/SW line was the former Wabash line that carried the famous Wabash Cannonball.
When I was a kid, me and my friend would put pennies on the track. We wouldn’t have wasted nickels and dimes, because we could get a candy bar with a nickle and a glass bottle of Coke with a dime. There was a crossing not too far from home that still had a hand-cranked crossing gate. There was a booth with a guy that sat there all day just to put the gate up and down. We put a couple pennies on the track within eyesight of the guy, and he came running out chasing us away, hollering that we would derail the train. Which we believed for quite some time after that. I’m sure he just didn’t want us thinking it was ok to do, because of course if you put larger objects on the tracks it could be dangerous.
@ontheroad5317 I grew 30' away from the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina railroad tracks in Elizabethton Tn. I put coins and sometimes maybe a hot wheels car on the tracks. Thanks for the comment, and thank you for watching.
Thank you for a great video. Suspect Shoestring is enjoying the scenery somewhere there aren't any bulls. He was sure a hard act to follow. BTW how did your area fare from Helene?
WOW! Great catch! Is that EB or WB? When I was out and about this morning, I heard a train coming thru right outside Jonesborough but I couldn't see it.
I encourage everyone to subscribe, like,comment, and share. Thank you all very much.
Well done getting that rare RF&P GP7 on the move. And when we see one of Shoestring’s tags, we never forget.
Those coins got sandwiched they did.
@AlikStansberry Yes, sir. #shoestring. Thank you for the comment, and thank you for watching.

@@MrBarrySell Awesome, the song Wabash cannon ball is a favorite song of mine, especially the Townes VanZant version it reminds me of Shoestring
Thanks.

I didn’t even know Shoestring but I miss him
@v.roydizzle3576 He sure was a great human and a great storyteller. He is definitely missed by all.
Nice catch!

@GraceCook-g1l Thank you, Grace. We lost water and cell service for several days. Others weren't so lucky. Our area has been devastated.
